May 6, 2011 -- The Nobel laureate Mohamed ElBaradei has stated
his intention to “nominate myself” to be president of Egypt, but this
memoir will not improve his election prospects. In personal terms,
it’s hard to imagine anything less thrilling to Egypt’s street
revolutionaries than ElBaradei’s accounts of his meals (“The food
was very basic, with few choices: noodles, meat and kimchi; no fruit
or salad”) and accommodations (“a worn, drab-colored suite
consisting of a bedroom and a salon”) in places like North Korea.
Nor will his fellow Egyptians be much intrigued by the details of his
battles against nuclear proliferators. At the moment, the protestors
have other priorities.
On the other hand, foreign policy leaders and wonks everywhere will
find plenty in this memoir to stir debates about the most vital task for
global survival — the need to stop the spread of nuclear weapons,
especially to rogue states and terrorists.
That quest is ElBaradei’s story. For decades he was an intimate
participant in dramatic nuclear proliferation confrontations that
dominated headlines. He served as a senior official at the
International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations nuclear
watchdog and inspection arm, for 13 years (1984-97) before rising to
its director-generalship in 1997. He resigned in 2009 after completing
